Instructional Classes

Our instructional classes give you the opportunity to choose to learn any form of woodworking, from using table saws to routers, to bowl turning, making jar spoons, and much more.

Classes are one-on-one and by appointment only. Group classes are offered as well for those who want to learn with friends or family. The studio is fun, relaxed and friendly. Our goal is that our students enjoy their time while learning, as well as getting as much experience with the machines as possible. We always work with you to meet your scheduling needs. Gift certificates are also available.

For everyone’s safety while in the studio, we ask that you don’t wear open-toed shoes or heels, no loose clothing or jewelry, and tie all long hair back. Safety goggles are provided and must be worn at all times, including over prescription glasses.
